Is LeSean McCoy in a Better or Worse Situation Under Rex Ryan's Bills?

Outside of Adrian Peterson, there is no trickier running back to attempt to predict their success in 2015 than LeSean McCoy. No longer is Shady in Philadelphia, as he now plays for the Buffalo Bills and head coach Rex Ryan. The big question surrounding McCoy is how he will fare on a new team with […]


Can QB Ryan Fitzpatrick Bring Fantasy Value To The Jets?

By now everyone who has internet or has watched eight seconds of Sports Center knows that Jets quarterback Geno Smith was sucker punched by an irrelevant former late round draft pick and will miss 6-10 weeks with a broken jaw. While oddly enough sports stations talk wall-to-wall about how this incident perfectly encapsulates the 40 […]


QB Tom Brady's Suspension Lifted: Value, Expectations, and ADP

By now we have all heard about the NFL’s four-game suspension on Patriots QB Tom Brady being lifted, but what exactly does that mean for his fantasy football ADP. According to the reputable fantasypros.com, Brady has a projected ADP of 76.0, which is behind the likes of Matt Ryan and Tony Romo. Additionally, Brady is […]


49ers Release Troubled Linebacker Aldon Smith

According to ESPN’s Jim Trotter, on Friday it was announced that the San Francisco 49ers have released linebacker Aldon Smith. He was arrested Thursday night in Santa Clara, California on charges of a hit and run, driving under the influence, and vandalism. Per Ian Rapoport on Twitter, the 49ers also released a statement saying, “This […]


Hawks Star Kane Investigated in Rape Case

Early Thursday morning reports came out of Buffalo, New York that Chicago Blackhawks star forward Patrick Kane was being investigated by police in a potential rape case. Tim Graham of Buffalo News said that a women accused Kane, a Buffalo native, of sexual assault for an incident that occurred during the weekend of August 1st. […]


The Continuing Decline of Colin Kaepernick in 2015

While Colin Kaepernick is a name that most fantasy football fans are familiar with, he might not be a name that is as relevant as he has been in years past. In a standard scoring league, there are an increasing amount of reasons why Kaepernick will further his decline in the 2015 season. Editor’s Note: If […]


David Cobb (RB, TEN) - 2015 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target in Middle Rounds CURRENT ADP: 117 STD, 127 PPR ANALYSIS: David Cobb, a fifth-round pick out of the University of Minnesota in 2015, proved in college that he could be a work-horse running back, having rushed the ball 314 times in 2014 despite dealing with a hamstring injury. Cobb is mainly a powerful, bruising back, but […]


Why Titans Running Back David Cobb is an Undervalued Sleeper in 2015

In the ultra-competitive world of fantasy football, everyone is always looking for an edge up on every team. Seeing that everybody is obsessed with finding the perfect sleeper, it is only fitting that every fantasy football fanatic collectively take a good long look at Tennessee Titans rookie running back David Cobb. Despite rushing for the eleventh-most […]


Likely NHL Expansion Positions Quebec City As Front-Runner For Franchise

On Monday, it became official that Quebecor Incorporation has submitted paperwork to the National Hockey League to formally express its “candidacy for the NHL expansion process in order to bring the Nordiques back to Quebec City”. According to ESPN, solely applying for an expansion franchise costs $10M, of which $2M is non-refundable regardless of the […]


Charles Johnson (WR, MIN) - 2015 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target in Middle Rounds as WR3 CURRENT ADP: 109 STD, 79 PPR ANALYSIS: In September of 2014, the Minnesota Vikings grabbed Charles Johnson off Cleveland’s practice squad. He played 12 games for the Vikings, starting in six, tallying 475 yards and two touchdowns. While that stat line is not overwhelming, it was solid production from […]


Ryan Tannehill (QB, MIA) - 2015 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target in Mid Rounds as QB1 CURRENT ADP: 99 STD, 108 PPR ANALYSIS: It may come as a surprise to some that Ryan Tannehill was the eighth highest scoring fantasy quarterback last season. His 4,000+ passing yards, 27 touchdowns and 12 interceptions placed him ahead of divisional foe and future Hall of Famer Tom Brady. […]


Expected to Continue Improving in 2015: WR Charles Johnson

During the 2014 NFL season Charles Johnson was one of the most under-the-radar players in the entire league. While he was promisingly productive during the final half of the season, most fantasy football fans likely don’t know much, if anything, about Charles Johnson. Editor’s Note: If you’re looking for a new, awesome, highly customizable and […]


Why Ryan Tannehill Can Be An Elite Fantasy Football QB in 2015

It may come as a surprise to some that Ryan Tannehill was the eighth highest scoring fantasy football quarterback last season. His 4,000+ passing yards, 27 touchdowns and 12 interception placed him ahead of in-division foe and future Hall of Famer Tom Brady in 2014. Yet despite his impressive performance last season he can be […]


Blues Re-Sign Superstar Tarasenko on Eight-Year, $60M Extension

On Tuesday, it was reported by the St. Louis Blue’s official website that the team has resigned emerging superstar Vladimir Tarasenko to an eight-year, $60M contract extension. Blues general manager Doug Armstrong said in a statement, on the Tarasenko extension, “We are not going to be active signing other players until we get him taken […]

The Best and Worst Moves of NHL Free Agency From Day One

Owen Elle profiles all the best and worst signings from day one of NHL free agency.   Best: Oilers Signing Sekera Still only 29-years-old, the veteran defenseman signed with the Oilers on a six-year, $33M contract with an AAV of $5.5M. While Sekera will receive $6.5M in each of his first three seasons, his salary […]


Kyle Rudolph (TE, MIN) - 2015 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target as Low-End TE1 CURRENT ADP: 148 STD, 145 PPR ANALYSIS: Injuries have plagued Kyle Rudolph the past two seasons, during which he played just 17 games, but he is finally healthy heading into 2015. The progression of Teddy Bridgewater and the return of former MVP Adrian Peterson should greatly benefit a healthy Rudolph. Rudolph finished last […]

2015 NBA Draft: A Look Back at A First Round Mock

Editor's Note: Yes, we know the draft already happened. However, we thought it would be fun to look back in a Back to the Future kind of way to see what we thought before the big night in comparison to what actually happened. Staff writer Owen Elle was kind enough to share his pre-draft thoughts […]


Why Kyle Rudolph Will Be a Top Tight End in 2015

Yep, you read that right. Kyle Rudolph, the guy who finished the 2014 season with 24 receptions, 231 yards and two touchdowns will be a top-ten fantasy football tight end in 2015. Rudolph, 25, is now 5 years apart from when he entered the league as a highly-touted tight end out of the University of Notre Dame. At […]

Predicting Adrian Peterson's Performance in 2015 and Beyond

Over the past year there has been perhaps no more interesting and ever-changing storyline than the roller coaster ride that Adrian Peterson has been on. While much has been made about what the appropriate punishment should have been and whose morals and ethics determine what’s right and wrong with guaranteed money in contracts and how […]


NHL-KHL Transfer Agreement Nearing Completion

On Sunday, it was reported by Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman that the NHL is nearing a deal with the KHL that would allow teams in both leagues to purchase “specific” players rights.
